MOSCOW, Feb 27 (Reuters) - Russian Deputy Foreign Minister
Sergei Ryabkov said on Friday that accusations from U.S.
Secretary of State John Kerry that Russia was lying over its
involvement in eastern Ukraine went "beyond diplomatic ethics",
Interfax reported.

Kerry said earlier this week that Russia was lying when it
said there were no Russian troops or equipment in Ukraine, where
pro-Russian separatists are fighting government troops.
